Gabriel is ( sorry to everyone else ) the guy whose work with cordages
has
impressed me most.
Gabriel's book
L'APPEL DU LARGE Matelotage traditionnel et arts
populaires marins
must be on one of your books shelves.
My copy was a gift from Alcosinus with a very special dedicace.
A special
project for a biker : Don made them for his brother's
Harley Davidson, they
hang from the handles.
[open quote]8
strands top to bottom, a couple of Spanish Ring Knots,
some Gaucho
knots, Pineapples and a few MKWs and some 8 strand square braid, a
couple of 5X4 Turkheads, 2 Footrope knots and lots of hours.[end

A GREAT BELL
ROPE from JAMES
MANNELL ( inspired by Vince BRENNAN
tutorial ) Added
2008 August 26th
James was introduced to me by Vince BRENNAN
end of last
June beginning of July
because this Englishman has the good luck to
live in Brittany and had just taken to knot
tying.
James made himself proud by crafting this splendid piece.
Roy's wonderful illustration, worthy of a professional illustrator, of the
mirroring trick.
All this was made into Roy's article in Knot News #69 Sept 2008
